Hello everyone, I am brand new to this site and this is my first post. I was hoping to get some thoughts. So this last week a ordered a new set of wheels and tires for my 2016 silverado 1500. It has a 2" rough country leveling kit and that's all for suspension modification. I ordered 20x9 moto metal mo970 with toyo a/t II's 275/60/20. After a few days have passed I'm starting to feel like I should have gotten bigger tires. Does anyone by chance have pictures of their trucks with 275/60/20 wheels and tires? I really would like to see it, maybe its not too late to change my order. Thanks!

That looks better than I was expecting. Any chance you have a picture of a side view of the truck? Thanks!

I like it, thanks for the pictures. Your truck looks sharp as well!

275/60-20 with Trailblazer SS +22 replicas and 2" front / 1" rear level...I've had bigger tires on but to get bigger sizes you have to get LT tires and they are usually at least 15 lbs heavier than stock, you can feel it with braking and accelerating and I didn't care for that.

How do you like those tires? Ive been thinking of getting something for "summer" to relieve my duratracs for a few months. I know those come stock on some models, most complain about stock, so just wonderinv your opinion.

 

Guess a sidenote, I didnt have any complaints about the SR-As lol as long as i got sure footing and they get me from A to B. It may not even be worth it to switch for me though, summers up here only last about 3.5 months (mid June - Sept). Before/after it could snow at any point

IMO they're good tires for getting around town (Bridgestone Dueler Alenzas) but average or a little below average in snow and off-road. Not noisy and fairly comfortable ride as long as you don't pump up the tire pressure too high. They are wearing pretty decent too, I've used about 5/32 over about 18,000 miles. I got a good price on a set of new take-offs (like you said they are stock on some trucks) and would be OK with them for a summer set but when they're worn out I'll be getting something that does better in the snow.

Check out https://www.customwheeloffset.comto look at trucks with different types of wheels and tires.attachicon.gifIMG_3771.JPG

I've actually been on their site a lot, and Mr. wheel deal. I've just found there to be so many sets and different combinations of wheels and tires that I thought it might be easier to ask on her. By the way your truck looks awesome!

    • 100% agree, there are a lot of variables. I definitely do not drive I’ve like a grandpa but also don’t drive like I stole it. Truck is currently in the shop so I’ll have to get weight later. The price for driving it doesn’t bother me. My precious was a 6.2l so the cost between the two is a wash. 
    • if you want a short turning radius get a short bed Colorado!
    • that is pretty awesome MPG there!  I think so far one observation is these trucks do way better on MPG under 65mph vs 70+ and they really suffer at 75+   I noticed on the stretches into NE on 76 and 80 which is posted 75MPH and I was doing 82 I was getting more like 13.    
    • No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.      
    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.
